Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 14, 1908. 1

l Application filed June 20, 1907. Serial N 0. 379,954.

rona, in the county of Lincoln, Territory of New Mexico, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Cu pidors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact descri tion of, the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. This invention relates to new and useful improvements in cuspidors, and'it pertains particularly to a cuspidor of that type which includes hlnged or collapsible sections and which is employed in connection with a flexible moisture proof bag. r The invention .aims as a primary object to rovide a cuspidor of this class which shall e neat in its ap earance, and in which the joints between t e several parts are practically sealed.

The invention aims as a further object to prov de a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, the details of which will appear in the course of the following description, in which reference is had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, like characters of reference designating similar parts throughout the several views, wherein;

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a cuspidor constructed in accdrdance with the resent invention, the arts beingassembled or use. Fig. 2 is a simi ar view with the parts disengaged. Fig. 3 is a top plan view. Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view illustrating the manner of en agin the overla in ed es of the hinged segtions with the bdi l of th? cuspidor. Fig. 5 is a detailed view of the removable moisture proof ba above referred to, such bag being preferab y constructed of oiled paper.

eferring specifically to the accom anying drawings, the numeral 6 designates t e bowl of the cuspidor which, along its u per edge is constructed with an annular bead Hingedly connected to the bowl 6, at diametrically opposite points, are the cover sections 7 and 8. These sections are counterparts in construction, and the hinged joints designated by the numeral 9 are located centrally there of. The sections 7 and 8 complement one another to form a complete cover and are 1 constructed with enlarged semi-dished shaped base portions 10, centrally located semi-annularly neck portions 11, and semi cone shaped upper portions 12, which together form theiflaring mouth of the cuspidor. At their l'owerends, said sections have beads 7 and 8 stamped thereinto which interfit in the bead 6 so as to effect a s'ubstantial sealed joint with the bowl 6 and so as to strengthen the parts in their hinged relation. Each of said sections 7 and 8, carry at their up or portions" and at opposite sides suita le catches 13, which are formed for engagement with the keepers 14 provided upon the adjacent side of the opposing section.

trated more particularly in Fig. 5 and constructed with' a reduced crimped neck 16, which is designed tointerfit the neck of the cuspidor afforded by'the portions 11 in their confronting relation.

Themouth of the ;bag overlies the mouth of the cuspidor so as to protect the same. Said bag may be conveniently removed by disengaging the catches 13 from the keepers 14, and by swinging the sections 7 and 8 to the position of Fig. 2.

he invention is simple in its structural details, inexpensive to manufacture and practical and eflicient in use. 7

What is claimed is:

In a cuspidor, the combination of a bowl like base having an annular bead adjacent its free edge, cover sections hinged to the base at opposed points, said cover section having beads formed around the lower free edges, the beads of the cover sections fitting within the bead of the base when in closed osition, means carried by the cover sections or holding said cover sections in closed position and an impervious flexible receptacle fitting within the base and inclosed by the cover sections when said cover sections are in closed position.

. In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature,

' in presence ofitwo witnesses.
